EPP hexagon pillow...a finish, finally

I finally finished my epp hexagon pillow! I first showed you some of the 2 inch hexies pieced together here. Well, that was two months ago! I probably wouldn't have finished it except that my dad has been in the hospital for two weeks and I've had a little free time (while the relishes are at pre-school) sitting up there keeping him company. He is feeling better, but will likely have heart surgery later this week. With that said, I have had very little time/energy to sew.

Really not much to say about this pillow other than I used charms from Simply Color by V and Co. for Moda. Two inch hexagons are the perfect size for 5 inch charms, FYI. I used my Silhouette to make the paper templates. I keep telling Mr. Relish it will pay for itself! lol

I also started a new EPP project today while sitting at the hospital. I am excited about this one! It has hexagons, squares, and triangles, oh my! I didn't take a picture today, but maybe I will tomorrow and blog real quick from my ipad.

I did finish Mr. Relish's anniversary quilt but I'm saving that post for next month for Sew We Quilt's blog hop, For the Boys! Wooohooo...my first blog hop! Stay tuned for that, but just so you know, he LOVED it!

I am also liking up over at Hydee Ann's (<--love her name!) new monthly EPP linky party at Splish Splash Stash! You must go check it out this Saturday! Hi, Hydee Ann!

Lastly, while I was taking pictures of my hexagon pillow early this morning (see the dew?), I also snapped a picture of little relish sporting her first pony ever! Isn't she adorable?

That's all I got for you this week. Thanks for visiting!

Linking up with all my linky friends to the right, Crazy Mom Quilts and over at Quilt Matters for TGIFF!

Little Relish brings tears to my eyes with her sweetness! I love your pillow! I can't wait to see Mr. Relish's finished quilt! Congrats on your upcoming blog-hop. Can't wait to see Quilts for the Boys! My husband is due for a quilt and looking forward to being inspired! A prayer going out for you and your Dad.

Ahhh, now I see! You have your For The Boys quilt finished already. Love your hexagon pillow. I'll bet your dad sure appreciated the time you spent together. Praying his operation goes well. And sweet pic of the baby relish!

Haha...yes, it's all finished! I actually had the post scheduled to publish but then got added to the blog hop. Whooohooo! Yes, I brought the finished pillow to share with the nurses and my dad to show what I had been stitching. Haha! His surgery was today and everything went good. Thanks so much for the prayers!

Thank you!! The pillow spent a few days in the room with my dad this week to brighten the room and to show all the curious nurses the finished product. Lol. Thanks for the well wishes! He had surgery today and hope he gets better and better every day. XO

hi back atcha! thanks for linking up. =) little relish's first piggy tail is so cute. that's a milestone i've documented with each of my 5 girls. thanks for the tip on the 2" hexies and the charm squares. i was wondering how charms might work with epp. love the hand quilting on the cushion! hope your daddy feels better and surgery goes well for him. can't wait to see your new project.

Hi Melissa, great hexagon pillow! I'm glad you linked up to TGIFF!, but to be eligible for the OctoberQuest 2 prizes, you need to include a link to the TGIFF! party in your post, not the sidebar. Please do link up again once you've done that. We'd love this finish to be eligible!
